Everything fit perfectly
I have a 2012 ford fusion and it was an easy install with all parts required. Even had gloves included!

Safe!!
I have had several close calls with people stopping short and I know that without these high quality rotors and pads I would have hit at least one of my mother-in-laws,😂. Honestly I HIGHLY recommend this upgrade 👍🏻

Impressive Product for a Jeep Grand Cherokee
I’ve been Road Racing & Autocrossing for decades and definitely drive hard off the track as well. I needed a set of brakes for my kids 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee so I took a chance on this product & brand as I had never heard of them. Bottom Line: I am very impressed and definitely recommend their product based upon initial break-in & the first few weeks of use. They stop extremely well without any fade even after repeated hard stops. The stopping power has definitely increased dramatically with this setup!I’ve run slotted & drilled rotors for decades on my street & track cars/trucks with no ill effects, so ignore the on-line desk jockeys & you will be rewarded with the best stopping you have ever had on a set of brakes.Some thoughts on installation:Along with this set of ceramic brake pads & rotors I replaced the front calipers (NAPA at $30 each). Be sure to spray everything down with some BrakeKleen before disassembly & also on the new rotors. Keep the rotor to pad surface clean of any grease & grime during this whole repair & rubber gloves are always helpful. Use Sil-glide (NAPA product) on the caliper pins / boots, this product is the best hands down & won’t damage or swell the rubber seals. Use CRC brake & caliper grease at all metal to metal contact points between the pads, calipers & caliper brackets. (See picture as an example). Use a wire wheel on your drill to clean up the hub which the new rotor back rests against, then use a touch of anti seize on the hub face but use it very sparingly as a little goes a very long way. Also wire wheel the back of the wheel itself which comes in contact with the rotor face when wheel & tire are installed. Doing these things will ensure a straight wheel & tire without any wobble or vibration when done.I replaced all brake hoses sourced from Amazon as well:Brake hoses: (stock suspension height)Rear Center: Dorman H380189 Brake Hose.Rear Right: Dorman H380225 Brake Hose.Rear Left: Dorman H380226 Brake Hose.Front Right: Dorman H38894 Brake Hose.Front Left: Dorman H38895 Brake Hose.TORQUE CHART:Lug Nuts: 90 - 100 ft lbsBrake Booster Mounting Nuts . . . . . . 29 ft-lbsMaster Cylinder Mounting Nuts . .. . . 18 ft-lbsPrimary Brake Line . . . . . 16 N·m (144 in. lbs.)Secondary Brake Line . . . 16 N·m (144 in. lbs.)Front Caliper Slide Pins . . . 21-30 ft-lbsAnchor Bolts . . . . . . . . 66-85 ft. lbsBrake Hose Banjo Bolt . . . . . . 23 ft-lbsBleed Screw . . . . . 16 N·m (144 in. lbs.)Rear Caliper Slide Pins . .. . .21-30 ft-lbsAnchor Bolts . . . . . . . . ...66-85 ft-lbsBrake Hose Banjo Bolt . . . . . . 23 ft-lbsBleed Screw . . . . . 16 N·m (144 in. lbs.)Hope this helps & in a few months I will post a product update, if amazon’s system will let me because they haven’t lately!

Look great, stop great.
These look amazing once seated/broken in.The stopping power is very bitey.Only draw back is at a certain brake pedal pressure you can feel and hear the slots grumble a tad.I had to bend and break off a few low pad pins.

Parts fit on Rear but not on Front???
I had these to do the whole car, and the rear fit just fine, but the break pads and disks did not fit the front. Which just cost me $300 more when I thought I already had the parts. Not happy

Front pads didn't fit my early 2005 Audi a4
See the pic . Pad on left is what was provided . Rotors fit fine . Front pads not compatible with my Audi a4 2005 avant calipers setup . Luckily I had some extra power stop ones to use with this Kit. Rears not an issue .

Great upgrade.
I was skeptical about ordering brake kits for cars because of bad experiences from previous cars that I work on. The brake kits didn’t have the right shims and sometimes the brake pads are a little bit bigger than the original one.I gambled getting this brake kits because it looks good from the picture and the price is reasonable comparing to buying it at an auto parts store and they don’t sell cross drilled rotors and I came across of this R1 concept. I received the parts and to my surprise, all the necessary hardware are just the same as the OEM. They fit perfectly. I highly recommend them because before they ship it, they send you an email to confirm what type of vehicle in order for them to send you the right fitment for your vehicle.I’ve been driving it for a few days now and the stopping is way better than the original brakes. It has a better stopping power. And it doesn’t heat up my rotor because of the cross drilled. I’ll buy this type for my friends cars.

Easy install, but wrong parts?
I like the value this kit offers and the parts were generally good quality, with a few issues. It seems like the front brakes that shipped were for a different vehicle, as they all came attached with a wear squealer clips, whereas my OEM brakes (2010 Forester) just had a single clip for the inner pad. They also fit my existing shims a little too snuggly and had to be filed down to fit the brackets properly. The rotors fit fine so really the issue rests with shipping the proper brake pads with the all-in-one kits.
